3 Claims. (Cl. 260-461) This invention relates to new compositions of matter and to their production. More specifically, the invention relates to unsaturated aliphatic phosphonamide derivatives as new compositions of matter. These compounds are proposed for use in a variety of fields, for example, for use as fiameproofing agents, plasticizers, waterproofing agents, coatings, lubricating oil modifiers, hydraulic fiuid modifiers, corrosion in- EXAMPLE I Preparation of diallyl phosphonamide CH:-CH=CH1 iiigietlosrs, insecticides, fungicides, and many O=P OCHT CH=CH It is an object of this invention to prepare unsaturated aliphatic phosphonamide derivatives.

Specific examples of such compounds are N-N methylene bis diallyl amido phosphate and 40 N-N' ethylene bis diallyl amido phosphate.

'hydrous ammonia is passed through with vigorous stirring. This removes residual hydrogen chloride and converts the phosphite formed directly to the amide. The reaction is complete when further addition of ammonia does not tend to raise the temperature.

The precipitated ammonium chloride is filtered off and the filtrate vacuum distilled. Chloroform and carbon tetrachloride are removed. The residue is essentially the phosphonamide. We have found it advisable to purify the product by distillation. The amide distills at 130 C. at 2 mm. of mercury.

EXAMPLE IV Preparation of N -methylol diallyl phosphonamide o CHzCH=CH2 I O=P0 CH2-CH=CH1 N-CHiOH 1'77 parts of the diallyl phosphonamide prepared as in Examples I, II, or III are dissolved in 85 parts of commercial 40 per cent formaldehyde solution. The solution is allowed to stand for '48 hours at room temperature at which time the To 207 parts of the N-methylol diallyl phosphonamide as prepared in Example IV add 1'77 parts of the diallyl amido phosphate. The mixture is allowed to stand for 48 hours at room temperature to insure complete reaction. The water formed is removed by vacuum distillation. The residue is a water insoluble solid material and readily polymerizable.

To 177 parts of the diallyl phosphonamide prepared as in Examples I, II, or 111 add 15 parts of formaldehyde by using an appropriate amount of commercial 40 per cent formaldehyde solution. (The exact concentration of formaldehyde in the commercial product should be determined by analysis.) The solution is allowed to stand for &8 hours at room temperature to insure completeness of reaction. Water and methanol are removed by vacuum distillation, and the residual water insoluble solid material is dissolved in benzene and neutralized. The benzene is removed by distillation, and the solid is then dried over.

sulfuric acid.

EXAMPLE VI Preparation of N-N ethylene bis diallyl amido phosphate To 162 parts of diallyl phosphite in 300 parts of carbon tetrachloride add 60 parts of ethylene diamine drop-wise with stirring, keeping the temperature at about 10 to 20 C. This is allowed to stand for one to two hours with stirring. Ethylene diamine hydrochloride formed in the reaction is filtered oil. The carbontetrachloride is removed by distillation, and the N-N' ethylene bis diallyl amido phosphate in quantitative yield remains behind. The material is a solid, having a melting point temperature of 35 to 36 C.

Because of the unsaturation of these compounds, they may be readily used as monomers or comonomers for polymerization reactions. The more complex molecules, such as N-N methylene bis amido diallyl phosphate, and particularly N-N' ethylene bis amido diallyl phosphate which contain four active double bonds, will result in highly branched polymers which are suitable for a wide variety of uses.

Films produced from these polymers are much less thermoplastic and have higher softening points than polymers produced from the simpler monomer molecules.

Further, substituting an alkyl group of at least two carbon atoms for one of the hydrogen atoms on the amido group increases alkali resistance immensely, making compounds so produced particularly effective and permanent, fiameproofing agents for textiles. All of the above-described compounds have been found to impart flameproofing characteristics to textiles.

It is to be understood that certain changes, alterations, modifications, and substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
